That is a start but how long will it hold for.
At a certain point it will get so smart that it can jump the airgap. Maybe it will start attacking the hardware it exists on in the same way that a hard drive or SSDs controller can be exploited to obscure things from the operating system. Then it might start social engineering workers or it's own training systems to do things they shouldn't. There is a lot of "unknown unknows".
I don't know. It just seems insane to me that people think that they will be able to contain something that knows how to get around all the containment measures. The only way to know how capable the models are is to test them but at that point it could be too late. This might be a long way off but still, the engineers haven't been very good at correctly predicting the behaviour or capability of the models.
If Sam Altman were personally on the hook to be thrown into "federal pound me in the ass prison" ala Office Space then there will be solutions. The problem is that there are no consequences and the media is eating it up about "agents going rogue".
ETA: Someone designed the systems. Someone pushed the go button. Someone gave the approvals. All those someone's need to be tried for crimes. Until that happens there is no incentive to "do better". It's also not mine or your job to brainstorm this. It is literally their job and like I said, make Sam personally liable to face real prison time instead of a meddling fee and they will make a solution.
I disagree. People are always taking risks regardless of the outcome and we don't know his motivations.
Assuming his motivations are positive this is the equivalent of asking a deluded person "Would you risk life in prison to be a trillionaire?"
Assuming his motivations are negative then destroying humanity might just be the goal and all these appeals for regulation are probably just tactics to temporarily defer responsibility onto government so he can continue the inevitable goal of human extinction in the same way pilots crash planes with hundreds of passengers on them or a cult leader convinces their flock to kill themselves.
Regardless I think the outcome is inevitable. AI is valuable as a weapon of war first and foremost so like nuclear weapons work will proceed forwards because extinction to the in-group is the same as total human extinction to those doing the work.
Alluding to sexual assault as a punishment is disgusting.
It indeed is and points to serious problems in the criminal justice system that destroy the argument of whoever is using it as a threat
